Item No.6B Type of Business:CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Givonna Reed, Assistant to the City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 5562 Hiring Lois Lestina-Yost as the New Police Department Administrative Assistant <br />Date of Report: May 7, 2001 <br />Pat Michna retired from the Police Department January 31, 2001 after 22 years of service as the <br />Administrative Assistant for the Department. The Council gave direction to fill the position using the current <br />salary range. <br /> <br />In March I advertised for the Administrative Assistant position and received approximately 70 applications. <br />Six candidates were selected for interviews and four came in for interviews. The Deputy Police Chief and I <br />conducted the interviews and we are strongly recommending Lois Lestina-Yost for the Administrative <br />Assistant position. <br /> <br />Ms. Lestina-Yost holds a BS in Business Administration and is currently employed as an Executive <br />Management Assistant to the Vice President with Honeywell where she has worked for the last 3 ½ years. <br />Her responsibilities with Honeywell include resolving customer complaints, supervision of clerical staff, <br />communicating up and down the chain, and maintaining confidentiality. Prior to becoming employed with <br />Honeywell, Ms. Lestina-Yost worked for the City of Fontana Police Department where she was responsible <br />for maintaining the Chief’s calendar, maintaining personnel and Internal Affairs files and preparing budgets <br />and correspondence. <br /> <br />The Deputy Police Chief and I are confident that Ms. Lestina-Yost would be an asset to the City and we are <br />recommending that the Council hire Ms. Lestina-Yost for the position with a starting salary of $3012.18 <br />monthly (step 4) with an increase to step 4 1/2 in six months pending a satisfactory performance evaluation <br />and an increase to step 5 after one year of employment pending a satisfactory performance evaluation. <br />Pending approval by the City Council, and satisfactory criminal background and reference checks, Ms. <br />Lestina-Yost would begin employment with the City June 11, 2001. All other personnel policies would apply <br />normally. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Approve Resolution 5562 Hiring Lois Lestina-Yost for the Police Department Administrative Assistant <br />position. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted <br />Givonna Reed <br />
